The agency partnered with the state of Arizona on the case and the two sides came to a proposed $2.6 million settlement in August. ...

Everything should be 'click to cancel'. No more legalese, no more convoluted multiple hoops to jump through. Just the 'voice of the people', thumbs up, or thumbs down.
